Discuss in brief ‘the Beginning of Herding’.
✓
Answer
The Beginning of Herding:
The climate of the world was changing and so were animals that people used as food.
People could also attract and tame animals (after beginning of the farming) by leaving food for them near their shelters.
The first animal to be tamed was the wild ancestor of the dog.
Latter, people encouraged animals that were relatively gentle, lived in herds, and ate grass, such as sheep, goat, cattle and also the pig, to come near the camps where they lived.
Often, they protected these animals from attacks by other wild animals.
